6 Months Post Op - Updated Pics Pics Pics!!!!
I posted this last week but didn't have pics. Here is the updated post with pics! So many OH'ers helped me and I love before and In Progress pics.
I am 6 months post op and have lost 71 pounds so far on my journey. I may not be a fast loser but I am thrilled with the results and feel great. I am off all of my meds, have sufficient energy and am starting to feel more comfortable in my own skin (except that I feel like I look much older now that I lost a good bit of the weight - that stinks).
I took my measurements today and have lost 58 inches, 71 pounds and 6 dress sizes (Size 18 to size 6/8). I can’t believe it has already been six months. I was hoping to be to goal by today but am off by 9 pounds…insert sad face here! The last few just don’t want to come off but I will beat them with a stick if I have to!
My biggest accomplishment this month is I ran a 5K. It was on the treadmill but I didn't stop and finished in 30 minutes...I can't believe I ran for 3 miles straight.
I am happy to answer any questions for any newbies or anyone might have about my experience so far. I "heart" you guys and appreciate your support and "kicks in the rear" when I need them!
Before 230 lbs
